There may be a week left until the Black Friday madness unfolds, but Amazon UK has the first mover advantage right now across a slew of PlayStation 4 console bundles. If you're in the market for Sony's new-gen system, then you can snag a 500GB Slim system alongside Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for just...

Once again the immaturity of the games industry (and the world at large, really) has reared its ugly head: a PlayStation Network user has been banned for sharing an image of a lady's genitalia in Watch Dogs 2. That ban has since made headlines around the web, and shadily has been extended from a week to a month...

Digital Foundry's back with another tech analysis, this time taking a look at Ratchet & Clank - arguably one of the PlayStation 4's most polished titles. Given how pretty the game looks to begin with, we would have assumed that the release wouldn't benefit from the additional power of the recently released PS4 Pro to any large...

Dig out the frame counters and pay extra attention to the aliasing: Digital Foundry has dropped its preliminary Watch Dogs 2 report. And, in what must be becoming irritating news for Sony, the PlayStation 4 Pro version actually has a handful more framerate dips than its PS4 counterpart. We're talking a couple of frames under the most...

As reported by MCV, the launch of the PS4 Pro last week had a positive impact on sales of Sony's current-gen console. In the UK, PS4 sales tripled, jumping a rather impressive 204 per cent week over week. 65 per cent of those sales came courtesy of the new Pro model.
We imagine that it'll be a similar story in most other regions, too...

Got a bit of pocket change this holiday? Then your local Best Buy may just have a deal that'll tickle you into submission. For this week only, the US store is selling the PlayStation 4 Pro alongside a Sony 55" 2160p 4K smart TV with HDR for less than $1,000. While that sounds like a lot of money – it is, obvs – it's worth mentioning...

Ooh, it's new PlayStation commercial time. This isn't your average sizzle trailer – it's one of those ones that Sony's spent an arm and a leg on like Michael and other classics from the past. Named simply The King, the ad shows royalty rubbing shoulders with the Japanese giant's biggest gaming brands, like Horizon:...

The games updated for the PlayStation 4 Pro generally post big improvements, but inconsistencies between patches mean that not every title in the console's catalogue has been improved. Of course, we doubt that many of you are clamouring for a 4K version of Call of Duty: Ghosts – but there are evergreen outings in the PS4's library that...

There are many reasons to upgrade to the PlayStation 4 Pro, but if you're someone who enjoys hosting live streams, then here's another: Sony's supercharged system enables you to stream in 1080p at 60 frames-per-second – a sizeable leap from the 720p cap of the original model. We had reviewer Alex Stinton test out the upgrade...

It's not often you get a chance to really study how families play games. This week I got to do just that with the help of Sony. We took a PlayStation 4 and some top picks for family games into a real family with four boys.
From the games we tried a bunch came out on top, but as much as the specifics of what worked and what...

In a way, news that Gravity Rush 2 has gone gold so early is kind of sad. The game, which was originally due in early December, was clearly on track – but delays to the likes of Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian mean that it's been pushed back. The title will no

A new green camouflage DualShock 4 controller will blend into European store shelves in January 2017, and it'll be hoping that new recruits and war veterans alike take it home. The handset – which sports a similar pattern to the urban camo unit that Sony released a few years back – features the updated DS4 innards, so it has a...

Want to see your PlayStation 4 Pro without its clothes? Of course you do – you're not the only one who's been fantasising about it. Fortunately, the folks at Virtual Future TV have done the hard work so that you don't have to. In the 15 minute video embedded above, a gloved technician takes the console to bits, revealing all of its...

After years of being on top, the PlayStation 4 has now slumped to its fourth NPD defeat in a row – a trend that would probably be worrying Sony if its install base wasn't growing at an accelerated rate globally. The console lost the monthly US hardware contest for October, meaning that it's been a little while since the Japanese...

Sony's annual PlayStation Experience event was only announced a few weeks ago, but it's already on top of us like… Like… Nah, that's not fit for a family site. The point is that the platform holder's assembled an all-star cast of publishers and developers to commemorate the Anaheim-based occasion, and it's published the full list on...

Sony's support for the PlayStation 4 Pro can be described as "scattershot" at best. It's one of the system's biggest shortcomings right now; while games undoubtedly look and run better on the brand new box, not enough titles take advantage of it yet. This will change as we lurch into 2017 and support becomes mandatory, but right now,...

We've seen bits and pieces of The Last Guardian over the last few months, and based purely upon what we've been shown, it's safe to say that the game isn't going to be a 100 miles per hour thrill ride. Of course, if previous titles ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are anything to go by, then we can certainly expect an emphasis on...

Sony's launched the PlayStation 4 Pro today, ushering in a brave new world of iterative console hardware as part of the process. But while the system brings big improvements in image quality and performance, not every game is leveraging the hardware at this point in time. There are a handful of developers who have gone above and beyond...

We suppose that the PlayStation 4 was already the world's most powerful console, so the PS4 Pro doesn't get that many bragging rights. Then again, with double the GPU power, the supercharged system is a bit of a beast. And, in case you weren't paying attention, it's out today. Like, right now. As in, you can literally go in a...

As you'd expect from a first-party release, The Last Guardian will be upgraded to take advantage of the PlayStation 4 Pro at launch. Fumito Ueda's stunning cat-bird story will see its resolution boosted to leverage 4K televisions (and supersampling on 1080p screens), while also adding HDR support and some performance improvements.
The...
